Death

So I just wanted to write a little bit about what's been going on I recently lost my grandfather about 2 days ago it's really been rough because it's my mom's dad and she had to leave to go take care of my grandma is it just me or is it hard when you lose someone just around the holidays I like to think that it never happens but it was unexpected and I know life  expectancy is very short and this life I just hope he's happy and not in pain anymore he had stage 4 lung cancer and they caught it a month before he died but it just helps to talk about it thank you for listening

Holidays are always harder. Death is hard at any time, but holidays make it worse. My grandmother died on Boxing Day (day after Christmas in Canada) and my father was so sad at Christmas. Many years later he died late Nov., and Christmas was harder for many years.

My condolences on your loss!

i am so sorry for your loss. yes it harder at this time of year. my mother the 6th novmber and my dather 28th december so a pretty shitty time of year for me in many, many ways. the year my father died (seven years ago) within the one month and aunt died and a good friend died. my heart is with you and i hope you get through the next few weeks with a minimum of stress.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Jessekay it gets hard at the holidays to lose our special people...

I think Christmas is about having hope in a time of loss and uncertainty when nothing is going your way...

((((hugs))) that something good can come about and that sadness can resurface with some joy...hold tight, stay warm, find that special food that means something at this time of year, rest and reboot!

Gentle hug for you JesseKay…… I am so very sorry for your loss and the pain that you're in

I think holidays change when you lose loved ones..... For me now I really strip them back more to what is the real meaning behind them and that can be a good thing as well

My your Grandpa be at peace...… Another hug and a blessing....xo

I know my grandpa's up there with the angels in heaven he's not suffering anymore but yes I understand the meaning I'm losing someone and I am just coping with it as best I can like I said in the beginning it's always tough losing someone

I didnt used to think so but yes holidays are definitely more difficult with loss and with toxic family relationships. It’s time to drag out and dust off the coping skills to keep on an even keel !

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
